Salinity Management in Irrigated Agriculture
1996Salinity is one of the most serious problem faced by the world irrigated agriculture. Recounting the damages inflicted by salinity Hall (1974), writes that “History is on their (forces of degradation) side, as are the laws of physics, chemistry and biology. Today, every arid land region of the world is in some immediate or final stage of this process”.

Salinization and drainage problems of agricultural land
Irrigation and Drainage, 2020AbstractThe extension of irrigated agriculture is essential to fulfilling the mounting demand for food and fibre from a growing population which is anticipated to reach about 10 billion individuals in 2050. Lacking the necessary drainage, this extension can bring about salinization issues in irrigated regions. Continuous irrigation over many years with

Global Impact of Salinity and Agricultural Ecosystems
2006Agricultural losses caused by salinity are difficult to assess but estimated to be substantial and expected to increase with time. Secondary salinization of agricultural lands is particularly widespread in arid and semiarid environments where crop production requires irrigation chemes.

Role Of Soil Amendments In Saline Agriculture
2002To assess the degree of soil amelioration and improvement in crop yield, studies were conducted in farmer’s fields using gypsum and CaC12 as soil amendments. The treatments were applied in the year 1996–97 and wheat crop was sown. Two crops each of rice and wheat were sown after wheat 1996–97 to study the residual effect of both the chemicals.

Principles of Saline and Marine Agriculture
1968It is one of the significant signs of our time that gradually the political leaders are listening to the warning calls of scientists: that one of the most basic commodities for human life and, at the same time, one of the most abundant natural resources on our earth — water — will be wanting for our daily use within a foreseeable future if we do not ...

Impact of agricultural practices on groundwater salinity
Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment, 1989Suarez, D.L., 1989. Impact of agricultural practices on groundwater salinity. Agric. Ecosystems Environ., 26: 215-227. The impact of agricultural practices on water quality has been examined predominantly with an emphasis on surface water. Impacts on groundwater, as compared with surface waters, are much more difficult to quantify.
